Dear John,

Heading into the final months of 2020, we’re reflecting on what an unprecedented and unpredictable year it has been. From the pandemic, to civil unrest, to extreme storms and wildfires fueled by climate change (not to mention this week’s historic presidential election), 2020’s impacts have been far greater than anyone could have anticipated. These impacts have, of course, been felt locally and globally, at an individual level and also organizationally for us here at the Nonprofit Quarterly. And yet, one thing is certain: the need for news you can rely on is stronger than ever before.

That’s why we’re excited to share an opportunity to double your donation this year. We have once again been selected to participate in NewsMatch, a national matching-gift campaign that drives donations to nonprofit news organizations (like ours!) around the U.S. Since 2016, NewsMatch has raised over $100 million for nonprofit journalism. That’s a lot of impact.

In an average year, this funding opportunity would be crucial to fulfilling our mission. But in 2020, it’s absolutely critical. Nonprofit news gives power to people, but power doesn’t come for free. 

Here’s how NewsMatch works.  

Starting now—through December 31—NewsMatch will match your new monthly donation 12x or double your one-time gift, all up to $5,000.

We can earn up to $11,500 in matching dollars, which means NPQ can raise $23,000 in total. This funding would help ensure we continue producing the high-quality, independent journalism you’ve come to depend on—especially this year. 

The time is now. Trusted journalism like ours has never mattered more.

Give today and NewsMatch will double the impact of your donation. 

With gratitude,

Joel Toner

President & Publisher
